Hi, it's been a while... So many things happen in my life. Start from I joined a Fintech Center Project of Indonesian Regulator as an expert because of my finance and banking background that leads me to my new role and then I have a lot of things to do to support Indonesian Fintech ecosystem. So here I'm writing to give you some insight before you create your own Fintech. Honestly, I've been met more than 100 young entrepreneurs in this 4 months. Some of them are really good, smart and charismatic. Although some of them really not sure what going on, they don't know what do, and I can tell that they are "lost".

Hi it's been a while... Today I would like to share my experience as a baby swill class coach at @splishsplashid. However, I never thought that I could teach parents how to swim safely with their babies. When I was a kid, I got a gold medal for swimming competition for all primary school student in Jakarta, and I love to swim.

Hello Again... two weeks after labor I will share "how I can manage my study while I have a newborn Baby". Alhamdulillah I did my master degree. I was thinking to write about this blog but I wait until I done my study.  Actually, becoming a new MOM is not easy for every woman in the world. Not only me as an international student, but also for every new mom, for an example a working mom also has her own challenges, especially when her maternity leaves is over and has to be back to work. Besides, a full-time mom might have her own story too. However, based on my experience. I can create a short list of study tips for a new mom as follows            1. Pray As a Muslim, I pray 5 times a day. During my prayer, I always ask ALLAH SWT to give me strength so I can fulfill my study and become a great mom without any problems. It gives me hope that Allah SWT always with me so I can through it well. At my main Campus, University of Notti...
